(ANSA-AFP) - TAURUS, MAY 27 - Ukraine has asked Berlin to
provide it with Taurus air-to-surface missiles that have a range
of in excess of 500 kilometres, Germany's defence ministry told
AFP on Saturday. "We have a received a request from the
Ukrainian side in recent days," a ministry spokesman said,
without providing further details. The request comes as Ukraine
prepares to launch a counteroffensive in an effort to wrestle
back territory seized by Russia since Moscow invaded its
neighbour in February 2022, sparking the biggest conflict on
European soil since World War II. The missiles, produced by a
Germany-Swedish joint venture Taurus Systems, would allow
Ukraine to strike well inside Russia with their range of more
than 500 kilometres (310 miles). (ANSA-AFP).
